>>122165224It is totally a harem though. It is a bit different in the others in that it has a strong focus on the characterization of the MC which makes it quite interesting for it, but is still unmistakably a harem.

>>122166379>>122166488>>122166514They kinda took the more "cartoonish" design they had and added a more "real one" , It looks good when animated I really don't get why so much complaining. It's not like Triage X for example that the characters don't look as good as the original design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6cmXXm89cI

...Yozora or Sena were going to win? ...who thought Nodoka or Asuna was going to win? ...who thought Leerin was going to win?...who thought Mercelida was going to win?...who thought Kouki's mom, Yukari, was going to win?...who thought Shizuku was going to win?...who thought Minami was going to win?...who thought Index was going to win?...who thought Louise was going to win?

>>122166919Iroha crying on the train, then everyone going to school the next day and 8man monologuing about how everyone wants something genuine while we have a montage of characters doing things important to them.

>Saika practicing tennis>Saki studying or glancing over at 8man>Hina smiling enigmatically while Miura berates Tobe>Yukino preparing tea in the clubroom and Yui yahallo-ing in>Sensei crying over her beer and tobacco

>>122165863Not that guy but I think it's starting to be pretty much harem. In the earlier volumes, it was only Yui that we knew liked 8man. Now we have Yui, Yukino, Kawasaki, possibly Iroha, and if we stretch it, Sensei and Haruno.

Not that I don't think that's bad considering we get characterization and development for most of the characters.

If anything, I kind of want to see 8man get thrown into harem situations considering he's always been the cynical loner that hasn't ever really aimed for a relationship since his middle school days. He pretty much thinks no girl would ever like him and I kind of want to see a setup of where a guy has a harem in which he thinks nobody would ever like him not because he's dense, but because he's aware of his own character and is self-deprecating.

If the recent volume is anything to go by, I believe 8man would be a dense harem protagonist. He doesn't know why Yui and Yukino all of a sudden drop what they're doing to help him when Iroha asks him to help her. He doesn't notice why Kawasaki is flustered with him. He thinks Iroha calling him senpai is a negative connotation because she doesn't know his name.

>graduation day>sensei: Do you have a girlfriend?>8man: "A girlfriend?" I was surprised by the personal nature of the question.>Sensei: ara ara, all this time and you still haven't managed to get a girlfriend. *shakes head disapprovingly>"I noticed a few girls are interested in you. Don't you notice Yukinon, Yuigahama, Ebina, Hikigaya, Kawasaki, Miura, Sagami, Shiromeguri, Haruno, and Totsuka keep looking at you during class?>8man: Not really. They aren't particularly my type. I prefer a matured woman with a stable future that can provide financial stability for both of us, despite my unemployment.>Sensei: "Such a pity," she continued, now inspecting her manicured bronze painted nails as her bangles clicked together at her elbow, "School is a time to experiment, learn what love is, discover your likes and dislikes..." >Sensei, as if finally paying attention and realizing what 8man said, widened her eyes for just a second and then stared at 8man.>Sensei slowly lifted her right leg, bending at the knee and interlocking her fingers across her calf pulled it to her breast in a faux casual pose, the heel of her shoe flush against her right cheek. 8man was mesmerised by what seemed to be a white G-string peeking from between her legs but by the grace of blood rushing through his cock like a waterfall, he was uncomfortably brought back to reality. he shook himself out of it and looked up at her as she smiled beatifically back at him. >Was she playing with me? - 8man thought>Sensei: "Do you want to fuck me?" she asked.>8man(without hesitation): God yes! >they resumed our heavy petting interspersed with heavy breathed confessions of as yet unrealised fantasies meanwhile working ourselves up to a delirious hormone-driven crescendo. Piecemeal between kisses sensei divulged to 8man how she had long held a fantasy about single-handedly rehabilitating him back into society.>8man and sensei are seen leaving in sensei's car by yuki & yui

>>122167537>>122167551>>122167565More like teen angst.The latest volume was about everyone getting upset over Hayama not telling them his career path. Like nigga, wait until next year. Also there's no need to make such a big ass deal over superficial comments. Shit like "nice day" or whatever are still means of acknowledging your existence.

>We exchanged small smiles and Ebina gently pushed back her glasses. The gaze that was reflected on the lenses of those glasses was a mystery. >But after going “hoh”, she raised her head. Her cheeks were slightly flushed and she wore her normal bright smile. >Oh, but if it's you, I think we'd make a great couple.

>>122167589Basically Kodaka confessed to Sena that he wanted to do super lewd things to her, but he asked her to wait until they graduated because he didn't want to break up the club.Then he realized that all he wanted to do to Sena was fuck her. He'd actually fallen head over heels for Rika.But she rejects him because he's only a friend to her. Meanwhile, Yozora, who's been masturbating in his bathroom, is completely out of the picture.

Then Yukimura rapes his mouth with her tongue and asks him flat-out to go out with her. And he says yes.

>>122167760Nah, I kind of got emotional with the genuine thing, I have been following the novel in a quite addictive way, and it was quite the climax for hachiman development.The best moment of the LN as of now is the one in which he describes what he wants and he confess.

But the editor pushed him to get all the girls part of the harem so it'd sell more, especially Sena. And the author wrote himself into a hole that he couldn't get out of so he rammed everything to the conclusion.

It's almost like what happened with Kagami no Kuni, except I still have no idea why the author thought he wrote himself into a dead end with that series. Did he just run out of ideas or something?

>>122168007She spent the night at Kodaka's house for some reason. I need to download the novels and figure out what happened, since I haven't read them since they got licensed. And she's taking a shower and schlicking when he steps in bringing new shampoo for her to use.

>We find out that 8man is an illegitimate child>He was living with his mom at the time, she's a crazy abusive bitch>Sensei is currently attending college to become a teacher and is a friend of a friend of his mom and lives close>Mom's boyfriends are also abusive>Sensei is a shotacon and feels bad for him>Takes advantage of 8man by letting him stay over at her place as long as she gets to play with him>8man is like I'm 12 what is this

>abuse gets really bad, the police are called and his dad gets full custody >but his dad and new mom hardly care about him and only see him as a burden>he meets Komachi, who's depressed that she's home alone all the time and has no friends>he cheers her up by being there for her all the time>because of his shit up bringing and being poor he had are hard time with the ladies>but now that he's starting highschool and living somewhere new, he feels he can be a new person>he gets too excited and goes to school early and gets hit by a car

>regular story happens

>He slowly realizes how much Sensei really cares about him and notices how beautiful she is (OVA)>Graduation day, he proposes to her

>>122168258V1-3 are translated on nanodesu, with 4 being TL'ed atm. 6, 8-10 are translated on Kyakka, with plans for 5 to be translated at some point. 7 is on bakatsuki. The anime cut a fair bit out, but most of the important stuff from what's been translated got adapted.

>>122167070No. Kawasaki is not in love. This is so fucking simple and it shows that the people screaming harem have no fucking clue or any kind of reading comprehension. She likes him because he pays attention to her. In his own way that is. 8man also goes out of his way in order to help her brother and in the end her as well. Consider her family situation and you'll see that she's simply awe struck by his personality. Again, he recognizes her and they both have some similarities. Kawasaki is obviously grateful that someone knows and accepts her.

Iroha doesn't love him. I don't know why this is a thing but you need to stop interpreting any kind of slight affection as love. Sensei and Haruno are both completely ridiculous examples and they prove that you and the other haremfags have no clue.

In short. This ain't no harem and anyone who says that it is can obviously not read.

>>122168632I agree that people who think that sensei and Haruno are part of the Harem are fucking delusional, and Kawasaki is basically a background character, but I disagree with your opinion on Iroha. For the moment at least, because it looks like Watari may or may not do something with her.

Well I'm not sure what's with her but that's literally part of her character. 8man doesn't necessarily understand her either and she's very playful. I think she simply likes him because he's different from what she's used to and can she drop her protective act a little while she's with him. I wouldn't consider that love though. She is also pretty much using him for her own interests.

>>122168817Nah, you think you are right, and you believe everyone else is wrong. Even if you are provided evidence you won't accept anything. I have experience with this. It would be a loss of time and nothing else. You wrote this >>122168632and ,for you, that is absolute and cool.

A harem is traditionally more about the girls flocking to the main character, not gradually being won over by his insane persistence and personality.

A harem series is also more often about the girls while we have a generic nice guy who the viewer can self insert to, whereas 8man is very much his own, and unique character, and forcibly keeps people at arms length.

It's not even a "so cool, and dark and mysterious" it's more of a very sad and bitter young man.

I mean yeah, there are a couple of girls who are interested in him, but there's no real heavy focus on it. It's part of a larger story. 8man's story, and his journey to adulthood.

>>122167757Can't wait for the inevitable Saki end, where she engraves her name on 8man's heart just as Yukimura does on Kodaka's heart in that moment they kiss. 8man will never forget her name after that.
